He took just some random show and 16 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 3: plugged it in for a while. I have no idea 17 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: what it was. 18 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: And really really there there, Alexa, you really think on 19 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: Monday that Michael and I would not have goofed around 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: like Caldera and I did. Michael and I have the 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: same maturity level about that topic that Caldera and I did. 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: So the same thing would have happened. 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 4: What was the topic? 24 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: It was National no broad Day on Monday. Oh so 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, you can only expect as to what, 26 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: you know, a couple of teenagers would do well. 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: So Monday, I get up and I had warned my 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: granddaughter that Monday was Clumbus Day in New York. 29 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 4: That's a big f and deal. 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: And they had already started on Sunday, you know, putting 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: all of the crowd control, you know, all the barriers 32 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: up and everything. Yeah, so Fifth Avenue was completely blocked off, 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: so we were able to for at some period when 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: I thought you all done, and you know, then the 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: cops had taken all their positions. We're able to actually 36 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: in the evening just walk up and down the middle 37 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: Fifth Avenue, which is something you rarely get to do. 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: And that was fine. But I said, you know, so 39 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: what we're because on Tuesday we had some other stuff planned. 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 3: And I said, but I know, you want to get 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: back up. She went, we hadn't seen Tiffany's yet. She 42 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 3: wanted to go into Tiffany's. So we're they expect a 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: crowd of a million people at that parade, so we're 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 3: gonna have to work our way, like back over to 45 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: Third Avenue, come up, you know, and come across fifty 46 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 3: seventh or something to get back in. And even then, 47 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: depending on whether the parade's still going on or even 48 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 3: worse than the parade has finished and people are starting 49 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: to disperse, we're going to be swimming upstream. But what 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: a trooper she was, Holy cow, So I really had. 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we've traveled as a family together, but 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: that's usually been to the undisposed location or whatever. And 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: you know, and she's she's a typical teenage girl. She 54 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: turned into a New Yorker the second we landed beautiful 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: it was. It was because I wasn't quite sure. So 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: we get in, we get checked in. It's late on Sunday. 57 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 4: You know. 58 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 3: The first thing she knows was, gee, grandpoo. This that 59 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: taxi ride from Lacgarty was kind of expensive, Like, well, 60 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: welcome to New York. Well, welcome to New York. This 61 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: is why, this is why, that's right, this is why 62 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: your grandfather's gonna be working for the next twenty years. 63 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: It's because I gotta pay for the strip. But we 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: get we get checked into the hotel, and it's and 65 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: I picked right in the middle of Times Square because 66 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: I wanted her to be like, not over on the 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: east side or you know, not even in Greenwich Village 68 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: or so, but I wanted to be like in the 69 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: midst of the most busy tourist everything. And then we 70 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: have spread out from there, so it was centrally located 71 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: and everything. We we get checked in and we're supposed 72 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: to have rooms next to each other, you know, Marriott 73 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: had promised me we'd have rooms next to each other. 74 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: Well we didn't. We were on separate floors. And of 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: course I kind of argue a little bit. Then I 76 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: think she's seventeen years old, she's she's been to Africa, 77 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: she's been playing So you know why am I worried 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: about this? No need to worry about So let's do this. 79 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: Let's go in, clean up, you know whatever, don't change clothes, 80 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: you know, but wash up, rest a little bit, give 81 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: me thirty minutes. Grando needs to rest a little bit, 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: and then let's go out. Saturday night, we were out 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: till one thirty in the morning. Yes, yes, I waited 84 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 3: this morning because I was curious because I haven't estimated yet. 85 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: But my guess is based on, let me pick one 86 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: random day, because we took cabage when necessary, like if 87 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 3: I if we were Battery Park and I wanted to 88 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: get to say Chelsea, I didn't want to walk those 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: two miles. I didn't, you know, And it was right. 90 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: It's somewhat rainy a couple of days. Yesterday was gorgeous, 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: absolutely gorgeous. So occasionally we take cabs, but most of 92 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: the time we were walking. And on let's see, we'll 93 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: take Monday ten point ninety. 94 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 4: Three miles beautiful, Yeah, awesome, that that was. 95 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 3: That was probably that's actually probably the low end. I 96 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: would say twelve miles was probably average every day. So 97 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: Saturday we get there and I said, now we get 98 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 3: most places walking. That's what we're going to do. You know, 99 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 3: in New York, nobody pays attention to the traffic lights. 100 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: Of course, now nobody pay In fact, the you can 101 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: tell the visitors from the locals because the visitors stirring 102 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: around and they're stopping in the middle of the sidewalk 103 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: and you're having to you know, swerve around them or 104 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: you're bumping into them because you got your head down. 105 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: You're one one hundred miles an hour. She immediately picked 106 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: up on. Oh, it may say do not walk, but 107 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: if you're crossing a one way street, traffic's all backed up, 108 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: you can look. You can look to your left. Depending 109 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 3: on the direction of the traffic, you can look to 110 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: your left and see, oh, yeah, the cars are a 111 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: block away and they're stuck. 112 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: Go I can just cross. 113 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 114 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: And she just boom. Didn't have to explain it to 115 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: her anything. She just started doing it. Here's the best part. 116 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: You must get those kind of smarts from her grandmother. 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely she does. 118 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: Although she does have something that every would have crapped 119 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: out by noon every day, because by noon we'd put 120 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 3: in a day and a half by noon. So I'm 121 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: not sure her would would have survived. She would have 122 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: survived this either the first the first night, but we 123 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 3: would some really nice places and we went to some dive. 124 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 4: Of course the very first night. 125 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 3: We are what I said, do you want to look 126 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: at the like like at the shop windows on Fifth 127 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: Avenue to see them at night? I mean, it's probably 128 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: not it's too early for Christmas, but they'll be lit 129 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: up at night and you can see what it looks 130 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: like on Fifth Avenue at night. Because I think that's 131 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: a good way to see a lot of things. Like 132 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: I always tell people when they go to d C, 133 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: don't go to the Lincoln Memorial during the middle of 134 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: the day. Go at midnight because then it's lit, it's quiet. 135 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: It's empty. 136 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 4: And yeah, yeah, it's amazing. 137 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: Well, so we're walking over to Fifth Avenue and we passed, 138 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: you know, a couple of the food trucks, the food carts. 139 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 4: She goes, I want a corn dog? Are you serious? Really? 140 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 3: Yes, I want a corn dog? Okay, because I'm on 141 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: a hot dog. So we had corn dog and hot 142 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 3: you know, we got corn dogs and hot dogs. 143 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: York Street cart hot dog. Come on. 144 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. So so and then what do we do. 145 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: We go over and we into place kind of over 146 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: you know, I guess one of the office buildings where 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: there's kind of a little ledge and we sit with 148 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: our feet dangling, eating hot dogs at you know, ten 149 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: thirty at night in midtown Manhattan. And I thought this 150 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: is going to be a good trip because she's already 151 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: adapted to the city. 152 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: Now. 153 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: Of course that family is. They're very acting, you know, 154 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: they like the last trip she took was a hiking 155 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: trip through Scotland, so she's got the stamina and the 156 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: energy and all of that. Yeah, but to see her 157 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: adapt to the city like that was fascinating to me. 158 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: Then this was interesting. So yesterday we did the nine 159 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: eleven memorial. I called a friend of mine that that 160 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: is the VP for government affairs there. He was a 161 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: Juliani guy, and I said, Jay, so I'm bringing my 162 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: seventeen year old daughter, granddaughter. I have asked about what 163 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: you've learned about nine Mille. In high school, they take 164 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: one history class, they take one American history class. And 165 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 3: so I said, I don't know what she knows, but 166 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 3: and I don't know what you guys do for people 167 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 3: like me.

She 340 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 3: has a thing for purses, and I think she gets 341 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 3: that from my daughter, and actually she gets it from 342 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 3: Tamra too, because tamar inherited really nice purses from her 343 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 3: mother jewelry too. But she has jewelry she's going to 344 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: inherit from her other side of the family, from my 345 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: grand from my daughter in law's side. She wanted to 346 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 3: get something from Louis Vauton from the flagship store on 347 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 3: Fifth Avenue, so it was interesting. She was nervous about 348 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: going in the store. We did to go to Tifty's 349 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 3: because we were trying to have tip. We were trying 350 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 3: to have breakfast at Tiffany's, but the Blue Box Cafe 351 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 3: was packed, so we got on the wait list for noon, 352 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: and we finally gave up because they told us, you know, 353 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: we got you down for one at one o'clock for lunch, 354 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: that's the start time for an hour. We finally gave 355 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: up after an hour and a half and left. We 356 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 3: had walked around and done it all. Stuff well again, 357 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: let me tell you about Louis Vauton. 358 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 4: We go in. 359 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 3: Before we go in, she was nervous about going in 360 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: the store, same with Tiffany's. Tiffany's was the second, Louis 361 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: Vauton was first. She was nervous about going in the 362 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: store because it's it's on you know, it's like a 363 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: fifty second and fifth Avenue that's up in that part 364 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 3: of town, and it's very intimidating. I mean it's truly 365 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 3: intimidating because there are incredibly expensive persons in there, and 366 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 3: she had saved some money. I was trying to nose 367 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 3: around to find out how much money she had, and 368 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 3: I realized when when I found out how much money 369 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 3: she had, she was not gonna be she was I'm 370 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: not going to be able to buy a purse. That 371 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 3: was not going to happen. So she because she already 372 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: had a she had another I forget whether it was 373 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 3: Louis Vaton or Gucci, and anyway, she's got another one. 374 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 3: She wanted to get a little pocket change purse, key 375 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: chain and change, and so she's overlooking at those, but 376 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: she keeps looking over the purses, and I realized she 377 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: really does want to get a purse. I'd finally figured 378 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: out how much money she had saved, and I knew 379 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: she couldn't afford the purse. So what I thought was, 380 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 3: if it's a reasonably price purse, which is I know, 381 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 3: an oxymoron for Louis Vauton, that I'll make up the difference. 382 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 3: But I don't want her to know that yet want her. 383 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 3: I want her to experience the store, experience what it's 384 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 3: like to walk in a place like that where they're 385 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: selling you know, a twenty five thousand dollars. You know, 386 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: Well they wanted to be burking or whatever, but whatever 387 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: they're selling in there. So I find someone to help us. 388 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 3: But I pull him aside while she's looking at the 389 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 3: little keychain things. And his name was Mustafa. He's a 390 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: graduate of Rutgers. He's happened to be their watch ambassador. 391 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: He had just spent a week in Aspen with all 392 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: the muckety MUCKs planning out their marketing and everything. 393 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 4: He has his MBA. 394 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 3: He wants to eventually work his way up in Louis Vuitton, 395 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: and then he wants to open his own design store 396 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: somewhere and what I don't know, but I said Mustafa, So, 397 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 3: my granddaughter's never been in a store like this. She's 398 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 3: very uncomfortable. She doesn't know what to do. Here's the deal. 399 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 3: If you find something that's under a certain price, or 400 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 3: she finds something that's under a certain price, I'm going 401 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 3: to make up the difference. But I want you just 402 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 3: to know she's very nervous. And I knew I had 403 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 3: have to explain what I want him to do. He 404 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: knew what I wanted him to do. 405 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: Say no more. 406 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 4: That's say no more. I've got this I. 407 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 3: Got it because you know, people will people walk into 408 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: Louis Vuitton because they've never been in a store like that, 409 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 3: and and their tourists, they just want to walk in 410 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: and see the store. Well, she wanted to see the store, 411 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 3: but she also wanted to get something. 412 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 4: Mustapha is excellent. My god, the guy was good. 413 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 3: He you know, introduces himself, asks her her name. You know, uh, 414 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: he noticed that, you know, the person she was carrying, 415 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: and you know, that's a that's a very nice person. 416 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: She's looking around and there's one she keeps looking at. Now, 417 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 3: my daughter, who is a person holic and knows all 418 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: of these, I snap a picture. I send it to 419 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 3: my daughter. Quickly tell me what this person is and 420 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: how much do you think it is? Blah blah blah, 421 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 3: so that they can keep at interacting, but I can 422 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 3: get the details while they're talking about stuff. Well, it is. 423 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 3: It's a retro purse from the nineteen thirties. It's one 424 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 3: of their original designs and it's a smaller purse. And 425 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take you the price, but it was 426 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: X number of dollars and I know how much she has. 427 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: I'm but I want her to have this experience. I 428 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 3: want her to have it. So, you know, he's showing 429 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 3: her the purse, and I'm waiting for her because I 430 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 3: want her to have to ask how much is the purse? 431 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 3: Because you know, there are people that walk in that 432 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 3: don't care how much the purse is. They're gonna buy 433 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 3: it regardless. Those are the wealthy. We're not the wealthy. 434 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 3: And so she needs to learn to understand that it's 435 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: okay to ask how much is the purse in Louis 436 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 3: Vauton because they know that the guy. The people that 437 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 3: work there know it too. They know that people can, 438 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: so I can and cannot. May have to make a decision, 439 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: am I gonna spend the money or not spend the money? 440 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: Although Mustapha already knows that want my upper limit is 441 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: is and then it's in within this limit. And he 442 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: gives her the price, and you can tell she's looking 443 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: down because she knows exactly how much she's saved up 444 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: for this purse. 445 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 4: And he goes, that is a lot, isn't it, And 446 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 4: she goes, yeah, I don't you know. 447 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: And she's very She's now getting into understanding that he's 448 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: a human being. She's a human being. Yes, this is 449 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 3: a this is a hoity toity place. But they know 450 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: that and they know what they're dealing with. He finally says, bunch, 451 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 3: ask your grandfather. 452 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 4: Because he knows I'm going to do it. 453 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 3: And she looks at me and goes and I said, yes, 454 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 3: I'll do it. Oh my god, eyes lin up, she's 455 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 3: just ecstatic. 456 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 2: Let's add a great big squeal. 457 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 3: Well almost not not quiet, I mean, it's a little 458 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: more subdued than that. But of course the first thing 459 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: she does is she wants to make a picture of it. Now, 460 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: my daughter has already gotten the picture of it. She 461 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: already knows. My daughter told me the name of the purse. Why, 462 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: why it's important. This is a great would be great 463 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: for her collection because it's retro and it's blah blah 464 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: blah blah, and so I already know the dang history 465 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 3: this stupid purse.

Really good grief. 491 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 3: No, let me tell you something this this is because 492 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 3: this is you know, it's interesting that you have that 493 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: response because I was taught by a high school my 494 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 3: high school biology teacher who is our student council advisor. 495 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 3: I when you go on trips, people don't want to 496 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 3: hear about your trips, and so it's I've always been 497 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: uncomfortable talking about what I do when I go on trips. 498 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 3: But this is my granddaughter, and this is making memories 499 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 3: with my granddaughter, and that's that's the important thing to 500 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: me is doing that. And if I can do something 501 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: and you might be surprised, you might be surprised about 502 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 3: things that I spend money on that are really not 503 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 3: that expensive. And I know that expensive is a relative 504 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: term for whomever it. You know, everybody has everybody has 505 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: different levels. But it doesn't mean that we can't enjoy 506 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: the memories of doing something like what I did. The 507 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 3: question was do you feel safe for in New York 508 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: City or downtown Denver. My granddaughter made a comment that 509 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: because of her her cheerleading and palm squad from Cherry 510 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 3: Creek often has to go to downtown Denver. They'll have 511 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 3: tryouts and they'll have competitions and stuff like that, and 512 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 3: she made the comment that now on Sunday, because of 513 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: the weather, there really weren't many people out on the streets, 514 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 3: mostly tourists, and the homeless people had kind of disappeared 515 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 3: and gone away. And interestingly, most of the crazy people 516 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: that you have homeless and you have crazy, and you 517 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 3: have the crazy homeless, we got a costed two or 518 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 3: three times. But the way you deal well, the way 519 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 3: you deal with them anywhere is you just ignore them 520 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: and keep you You don't make eye contact, you just 521 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: keep moving. And that's what we would do do. But 522 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: she specifically made the comment that she felt safer there 523 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: than she did in downtown Denver, and so that led 524 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 3: to an entire conversation about the difference. One is, there's 525 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 3: the crowds. You've got crowds and crowds of people no 526 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: matter where you are, even if you're in Chelsea or 527 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 3: somewhere in Manhattan, they're still those that live in that 528 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 3: neighborhood that are out walking around and they're they're you know, 529 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: going to their offices or going to whatever they do. 530 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 3: Or if you're down on Wall Street, it's packed and 531 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 3: jam packed. You're in Times Square, you're on the Upper 532 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 3: East Side, wherever you happen to be. There are crowds. 533 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: It's just you know, eight million people on the island, 534 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: so there's a lot of people there. The difference that 535 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 3: we both the conclusion we came to is the difference 536 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 3: is the the homeless people here tend to be crazy, 537 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: but also on drugs. They've got they're they're they're smoking weed, 538 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 3: they're using fentanyl, they're they're coke, whatever is they're using. 539 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: So they're homeless and they're crazy, and they're much more aggressive. Now, 540 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: part of that might be because there are fewer people, 541 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 3: so it's easier to be aggressive with somebody than it 542 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 3: is in the crowd, because you're it's kind of hard 543 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: to be aggressive in the crowd. We were coming up 544 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 3: out of Central Park yesterday and there was a guy 545 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 3: who was truly crazy. I mean, there was obviously something 546 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 3: mentally ill with him, and he kept banging on the 547 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: side of the ice cream truck at the corner of 548 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: on Central Park East, and the guy in the truck 549 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 3: just finally gave him an ice cream cone just get 550 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 3: him to go away, just gave it to it. He 551 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 3: was wearing a robe and black boots and I'm not 552 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: sure if there's I don't know. I didn't look. I 553 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 3: wasn't sure if there's anything under the robe or not. 554 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 3: Probably a harmless guy, but crazy here. I think that 555 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 3: same guy would be smoking weed and on fentnyel and 556 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: something else and would be much more aggressive. All the 557 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: guy wented there was this nice wanted a nice cream cone. 558 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: The other thing that was interesting, at least in terms 559 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 3: of my granddaughter seeing aside of me, she never saw 560 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 3: whenever I'm in a city like that where you know here, 561 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 3: if I have a nice meal and there's leftovers, we 562 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 3: take them home and we eat them the next day. 563 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: It's hard to do in New York City. So what 564 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: I've always done in New York City for the thirty 565 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 3: years or so I've been going to New York City 566 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 3: is if I have food left over, I'll have them 567 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 3: pack it up, put some utensils in, and as I'm 568 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 3: walking back to my hotel, I'll find the homeless person 569 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 3: and give it to the homeless person. I'll tell them 570 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 3: what it is. And I just came to the restaurant, 571 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: would you like to have dinner or breakfast or whatever 572 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 3: it is? And so my granddaughter and I would do that. 573 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 3: And we had one woman who We came out of 574 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 3: Grand Center after breakfast. I found her and I said, 575 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 3: would you like breakfast? She said, I have to ask 576 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 3: God first God should I take this food from this man? 577 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 4: Yes. 578 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 3: God answers pretty quickly, and they took the food. Here's 579 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 3: a great trip. I hope she has lots of good 580 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 3: memories from it. I certainly do
